Reggie Bird has been banned from Facebook over a photo she uploaded to the social network more than three years ago.

The two-time Big Brother winner, 49, took to Instagram on Thursday to make the announcement, telling fans she would not be able to access her account for 30 days.

The beloved reality star said the controversial post that prompted her suspension “included a painting of children with a lady showing her butt while blowing bubbles.”

“I can’t even object to it because that’s the way it is [Facebook] says the [post] is child exploitation,” an emotional Reggie shared in her story.

Reggie revealed that the same post led to a 30-day ban three years ago.

The beloved reality star said the controversial Facebook post that caused her suspension

The beloved reality star said the controversial Facebook post that caused her suspension “included a painting of children with a lady showing her butt while blowing bubbles.”

In a previous Instagram post, Reggie shared a screenshot of her original Facebook post from April 18, 2020.

It also included a message from Facebook saying it was removing the image because “it appears you have shared or sent content that depicts children in a sexual manner.”

Meanwhile, Reggie blames the recent ban on trolls.

‘Someone obviously went through my account and complained because it happened to me last year at the same time Big Brother was going on!’ the popular celebrity says in her story on Thursday.

“If I post it, I won’t doubt it [the banned picture] here I am banned because Instagram is owned by Facebook….

“I can’t access my personal account or my Reggie Bird account or even Messenger because they blocked those too…”

“It’s so damn ridiculous,” she added. ‘I can’t appeal because Facebook doesn’t allow that! I’ve seen worse things on Facebook, it’s crazy!!!

She posted a large photo of the word “Banned” in a bold red font in her Instagram share.

The star is legally blind after being diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a rare degenerative eye disease that causes severe vision disturbances.

Reggie recently revealed that she may have no choice but to join OnlyFans as the cost of living crisis worsens.

The former fish and chip shop manager shared an Instagram post pleading with supermarkets to reduce the cost of their products.

Bird, a mother of two teenage children, admitted she was “not built” for a career on the adult website, which many Aussies now use to supplement their income.

Despite taking home $250,000 in prize money during the 2003 and 2022 seasons of Big Brother, the TV personality has struggled financially over the years.
